LREN8~12A7 + LRNUN5A7
CO₂ ZEAS outdoor unit and capacity up unit
4P704142-1 – 2022.08
NOTICE
Foreign materials inside pipes are NOT allowed (including oils for fabrication).
NOTICE
The piping and other pressure-containing parts shall be suitable for refrigerant and
oil. Use K65 (or equivalent) copper-iron alloy tube system for high-pressure
applications with a working pressure of 90bar gauge at the refrigeration side.
NOTICE
NEVER use standard hoses and manometers. Use ONLY equipment that is designed
to use with R744.
NOTICE
If the ability to close the stop valves for field piping is wanted, the installer MUST
install a pressure relief valve on the liquid piping between the outdoor unit and the
refrigeration indoor units.
INFORMATION
Also read the precautions and requirements in the "2 General safety
precautions"[46].
15.1.2 Refrigerant piping material
▪ Piping material: K65 and equivalent piping, maximum system operation pressure
in field piping is 90bar gauge.

Depending on the applicable legislation and the maximum working pressure of the unit
(see "PS High" on the unit name plate), larger piping thickness might be required.
15.1.3 Refrigerant piping length and height difference
Requirements and limits
The piping lengths and height differences must comply with the following
requirements. For an example, see "15.1.4To select the piping size"[475].
